What to do in Sosnowiec when it rains? Visit museums, a bowling alley, a karting track, the Exotarium or the Zagłębie Theatre.
Sosnowiec has a dozen or so indoor places, from university museums to family entertainment. They are arranged below by whom you bring along. Longer lists are in where to go in Silesia when it rains and things to do in Sosnowiec.
The best choice is the Exotarium and the track with bowling, since both let you spend several hours in one place.
The Exotarium is combines a palm house, aquariums and terrariums; it stands in a city park, and its new building opened in December 2023. On Stawowa Street you will find Pit Stop Bowling with lanes for children, right beside the Autodrom, an indoor go-kart track with a bowling alley and restaurant. Lina Adrena itself is a rope park with routes between trees in the City Park, so it depends on the weather more than the other places.
Four museums operate in town, on entirely different themes, from glass and a manufacturers' family to geology and medicine.
The Sosnowiec Museum is housed in the Schön palace in Środula and collects contemporary Polish glass and recounts the history of the Schön clan; the same family appears in an article on palaces and the mausoleum of Sosnowiec industrialists. The Earth Sciences Museum collects about four thousand rocks, minerals and fossils. The Museum of Medicine and Pharmacy shows old pharmacies and operating rooms. The fourth, the Carmelite sisters' museum, tells of Mother Teresa Kierocińska.
It is easiest to join places close to one another. On Stawowa Street 4 stand the karting track and the bowling alley, so a full day of entertainment fits in one location. The Schön palace museum lies in Środula, in Schön Park. The two university museums are on Ostrogórska and Będzińska streets, and the Exotarium in the park on Piłsudski Street.
The Zagłębie Theatre on Teatralna Street, dating from 1897 and first called the Winter Theatre, has an auditorium shaped like an amphitheatre and historic paintings. It suits an evening for two. In the Kazimierz district stands the People's House, a historic wooden house for miners built in 1902-1903 on Podhale models.
The Exotarium, bowling on Stawowa Street and the museums are the simplest choice.
Yes, it is a historic theatre opened on 6 February 1897, with an amphitheatre-style auditorium.
At 4 Stawowa Street, where a karting track, a bowling alley and a restaurant stand side by side.
